Connecting and disconnecting thermal transfer devices

Read the operations manual for the individual thermal transfer devices for warnings, cautions, and safe operating
instructions before use.
WARNING
• Always use Stryker accessories. Only IEC 60601-1 equipment shall be hooked to the patient temperature ports.
Failure to comply with these instructions may invalidate any or all warranties and may negatively affect the products
EMC performance. This also protects the product from cardiac defibrillation.
• Avoid reduction in water flow. Do not connect two or more thermal transfer devices in a series on a single port.
CAUTION
• Avoid the use of materials of good thermal conductivity, such as water, gel, or similar substances, with the Altrix
system not powered on. This can decrease the temperature of the body of a patient.
• Do not apply thermal transfer devices to patients with ischemic limbs. This may result in harm to the patient.
• Do not use this product if the patient has a transdermal medication (patch) as this can result in increased drug
delivery.
• Always pre-fill the thermal transfer devices with sterile distilled water before you apply it to the patient. This is to
reduce the risk of pressure ulcers.
• Do not use three or more adult Mul-T-Blanket products at the same time to avoid the risk of water overflow when
the controller is powered off.
• Always clamp the hoses when disconnecting the thermal transfer devices.
